Ronnie Wood has reportedly accused his estranged wife Jo of "cheapening" herself by appearing on this year's Strictly Come Dancing.

According to The Sun, the Rolling Stones guitarist has been sending text messages to Jo about the show.

A source said: "Ron has been getting on Jo's case for agreeing to appear in Strictly. He reckons she has done it to win a popularity contest and get people on her side.

"He thinks it's cheap to be involved in what he sees as a silly dancing show with fame-hungry wannabes. The messages have been persistent and Jo managed to ignore them for a while."

They added: "But they have started getting her upset now and it has all been a bit too much this week. Ron can be a hurtful devil when he wants to be."

It has been claimed that Ronnie could face a possible divorce settlement of up to £50 million due to his continuing relationship with 20-year-old Russian Ekaterina Ivanova.
